chapter 198: whose side are you on
su jingyi looked at the awkward expression on lu xun's face and her eyes gradually became sharper. her already cold demeanor took on a more intimidating edge as she said, "if you're unwilling to show it, it implies you have something to hide. you don't want me to discover your little secrets."
lu xun smiled awkwardly, silently complaining that even the women in this world had the habit of checking cell phones.
"no, of course not. how could i?" lu xun gathered himself and spoke earnestly, "since aunt su doesn't trust me and is full of various doubts, then i can only do as you say. but, if i didn't have those things, aunt su, what would you do then?"
"if you don't, then you don't. what else can be done?" su jingyi naturally knew what was going through his mind. she said coldly, "don't try to negotiate with me, or else don't blame me for being ruthless."
with that, she reached out and said, "give it to me."
lu xun summoned the spiritual mirror, but he didn't hand it over immediately. he gazed at fairy su with a serious expression and said, "aunt su, if you doubt me so much, and if the truth reveals that i'm innocent, i will be very hurt. that kind of hurt is not easy to console."
su jingyi raised an eyebrow and said softly. "little scoundrel, are you threatening me? huh?"0v3l.b11n.
"what's called a threat?" lu xun rolled his eyes and looked at fairy su beside him. he said gently, "aunt su, right now, it's just you and me in this secluded place. you... why don't you take off your veil and dispel the concealment spell on your body?"
su jingyi rolled her eyes at the cheeky young man. she gently lifted the veil from her face and then removed the concealment on her body. in an instant, her stunning beauty and graceful figure were revealed to lu xun, once again making him imagine the wonders that lay beneath the gown.
"stinky little scoundrel," fairy su said as her peripheral vision caught him looking at her in amazement, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of satisfaction. she said leisurely, "speak. what conditions do you want me to agree to? if the conditions are reasonable, i will consider them."
"hehe," lu xun said, "in fact, this time coming to the capital, aside from visiting zhao yueyan, most of my time was meant for you, aunt su. i initially planned to give you a big surprise, but i never expected things to escalate to this extent. the key is that i managed to convince my wife to stay in the capital tonight. i'll go back tomorrow."
hearing that he was staying here tonight, fairy su's heart trembled suddenly. she instantly felt a strange surge of emotions, a bit of anticipation, excitement, as well as a hint of anxiety. she turned her face slightly, replying coolly, "whether you stay or not has nothing to do with me."
"true," lu xun sighed and said ruefully, "i've been overly presumptuous."
hearing his words of disappointment and helplessness, su jingyi's heart was touched ever so slightly. she bit her lip softly and muttered, "this matter... we'll discuss it later. first, tell me what kind of conditions you want."
"facing you, aunt su, i have no conditions," lu xun smiled as he handed her the spiritual mirror. he spoke softly, "you can try it. i have a clear conscience."
after receiving the mirror, su jingyi looked at the mirror that was identical to the one zhao yueyan had. she suddenly felt a hint of regret; have i been too nervous? i doubted him in various ways and even resorted to threats to find any signs of his involvement with other women.
when i doubted him, i must have hurt him deeply. faced with suspicion from someone close to him, that feeling of powerlessness must have left him emotionally drained. i might really have been wrong. but i'm also afraid of any romantic connection between him and yueyan.
"aunt su?"
su jingyi frowned slightly, suddenly becoming cautious of mu qingshuang. that attractive widow seemed to be tailor-made for my little scoundrel. no, no, i absolutely can't let him meet mu qingshuang, and i definitely can't let her meet him.
"since the mirror is with you, have you been in regular contact with yueyan?" su jingyi asked.
lu xun shook his head and earnestly replied, "actually, this is the first time i've used this spiritual mirror."
su jingyi carefully recollected and realized that zhao yueyan's spiritual mirror was dusty, which conveniently corroborated that lu xun was telling the truth. she couldn't help but pout her lips slightly, "i suspected you had something going on with yueyan. are you feeling uncomfortable about it?"
"i'm used to it."
"who made me so handsome and charming? your little scoundrel is like a fire in the winter, burning the hearts and minds of all unmarried women in the world," lu xun sighed and mumbled to himself.
su jingyi chuckled, "conceited and cheeky boy."
facing fairy su's enchanting smile, lu xun was in a daze, and he couldn't help but reach down.
mmm...
su jingyi froze for a moment, her cheeks blushing and her breath growing rapid. she pursed her lips and warned him, "let go!"
lu xun withdrew his hand and gently embraced su jingyi's delicate waist, whispering, "aunt su, now that the issue at hand is resolved, should we discuss the matter of me staying over tonight?"
"hmph!"
"who said it's resolved?"
su jingyi broke free from his embrace, coldly glaring at him and said, "first of all, i am very dissatisfied with miao fengxian and yueyan secretly joining forces. secondly, miao fengxian's goal is very clear. she wants to steal the two fragments of the heavenly dao diagram to defeat me. now the choice is in your hands. are you going to continue to side with her, or are you ready to side with me?"
oh my god!
this is going to drive me crazy!
at this moment, lu xun was in great pain, feeling as though his body was about to shatter.
fairy su's sharp gaze remained fixed on him, waiting for his answer, while lu xun was racking his brain, trying to figure out how to navigate this situation.
the atmosphere on the scene began to become tense.
